This significantly reduces the impact of an earthquake as the number of deaths and injury’s will decrease as building won’t collapse and crush people, roads will not be blocked so the emergency services can quickly get to casualties. In comparison the Armenia earthquake in 1988, where 25 000 deaths occurred, the poorly constructed buildings crumbled completely crushing thousands of people/cars. Both of these earthquakes measured 6.9 on the Richter scale. Developed countries also reduce the impact of disasters because they are always better connected. Richer societies that own televisions, radio’s and mobiles are able to communicate faster between each other and the rest of the world, so people are able to get out of buildings, emergency services can be alerted and rescue response programmes can begin.

Not only does this mean they make use of a site already available but it also has the positive environmental impact that they are not building on farmland etc. The 240 acre Bluewater centre in Kent was built on a former quarry.
Daylight Savings Time Winston Churchill once said ‘“An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn… We borrow an hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later’” (qtd. in Minnicks). This is the epitome of what is wrong with daylight savings time. Adding an hour of daylight in the evening during the spring lets us get outside more often and enjoy the outdoors. During the fall, however, we put that hour of sunlight back in the morning, gaining an hour of sunlight at a time when most people are still fast asleep.
as a result, the money states earn from being out of the liquor retail business could be used for healthcare, education and protecting the environment.the initiative supports political growth as well. obrien states, "under 1183, Washington would join 42 other states that allow consumers to purchase alcohol from licensed grocery or retail stores."(O`Brien). this will create lesser tax passed onto consumers when the state does not need taxpayers money to run liquor stores. economic growth will also therefore result from this initiative being passed.

This was significant because smallpox had a mortality rate of up to 35% so this vaccination would have saved a lot of lives and it would have made life considerably better for those who could afford to be vaccinated. However, it wouldn't have made much difference to the poor, who didn’t have enough money to pay for the vaccine, until it was made mandatory in 1853, towards the end of the Industrial Revolution. Education also improved during the Industrial Revolution. For example, before the Industrial Revolution, only the very rich children went to school and most children worked at home. But by 1900, school was compulsory and free for all children between the ages of 5 and 12.

Throughout the years, the mortality rates have increased; interestingly enough to those ho have less than 12 years of education.
